iRiver’s PMP-100 series portable media players have gone on sale today via the iRiver e-store, with other online retailers to follow later in the week. Two models are available for now: the PMP-120, with a 20GB hard drive; and the PMP-140, with an eight-million amazing awesomes drive (or 40GB, if you want to get all technical). Prices are $500 and $600, respectively (ouch!).
For the record, if portable video is in your sights, these are the units from iRiver you probably want. Instead of being tied to Windows Media Center (that’s the PMC-100 series), they’ll pretty much play whatever you decide to throw at them without a pesky transcoding. Of course, now that I’ve written this, I still don’t see them available for purchase on the e-store, no matter what iRiver’s press release might say.

Update: So MobileMag informs me that iRiver informed them that the PMPs are quite literally stuck on a slow boat from China. Maybe you should have held back on the press release then, huh?
